Network scanning refers to the use of a computer network to gather information regarding computing systems. Nmap has emerged as one of the most popular, free network discovery tools in the market. Nmap is a very effective port scanner, known as the de-factor tool for finding open ports and services.  By using Nmap, we detect specific weak spots in an application software or the operating system (OS), which could be used to crash the system or compromise it for undesired purposes.

In today’s IT environment Scanning a network to check for vulnerabilities is a vital exercise that should be done on a regular basis, and discovered issues to be addressed as soon as possible to prevent an attack. Nmap is today a most popular tool used by network administrators over other scanning tools. For visibility into your network’s organization and help you more quickly troubleshoot risks to better protect your infrastructure.
